"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Great vibe, but service needs backup!” Uptown Social has a fun, high-energy atmosphere that makes it a solid choice if you’re looking to hang out and soak in the Charleston nightlife. The music was upbeat, the crowd was lively, and the space had that casual party vibe that’s perfect for a weekend out. That said, service was really slow when we went—only one server seemed to be covering the whole floor, which definitely affected wait times. Didn’t try the drinks this time, but the menu looked good and reasonably priced for the area. Still giving it 4 stars because the overall vibe and ambiance delivered. Just hope they have more staff next time—this place deserves smoother service to match its scene."

"The bar area was fun until the servers were instructed to take away all of the tables and chairs when the DJ started. A super young crowd filled the bar and invaded our space. We left earlier than planned but made the most of it with friends."

"Drinks are priced as expected for this area, however, if you dance and stand away from frim your drink, the barback would swoop in and grab your drink, even if its only half drunk. Happened to me 3 times in one night, and the "door manager" offered to give me a free drink?!?!. I was done with the night and tried to talk to the "door manager" and when i suggested that their barbacks make rational decisions about the drinks they pick up, it got nowhere. When i tried to suggest they try and teach the employees to better pick EMPTY cups instead of half empty cups, the local cops at the door told me to leave. They know what they're doing and they wont correct this action, making people buy more drinks."

"We were there early afternoon on a Monday, so difficult to get a good read on the place. The cocktails were very good!"

"The PERFECT venue for our wedding welcome party! The Uptown Social team was amazing to work with! They were so helpful in bringing our vision to life. The drinks and food were amazing and so reasonably priced. The private space upstairs has an indoor and outdoor space which was awesome - the guests loved it! We had over 100 guests stop by and they fit perfectly. I can't recommend this venue enough for any private event!"
